CECN1 Projects

These simulation projects for the CECN textbook, implemented in Emergent serve as replacements for the original projects that were done in PDP++. They have completely self-contained documentation that opens up when the project is opened -- follow those instructions instead of the ones written in the textbook.

General Usage Tips

In addition to all the tips available at the Emergent website, the following are particularly relevant to these projects:

To make the documentation instructions always available in a separate window: do Object/Edit Dialog in the menu just above the document text that shows up when you open the project. Alternatively, you can just always return to the document by clicking on the ProjectDocs tab at the top of the middle panel.

If your screen is small, you may also want to make the document window "Always on Top": (e.g., in Linux, Emergent-logo-at-top-left/Advanced-> Keep Above Others) and also use the "Shade" feature: double-click the top control bar to toggle the window between "rolled up" and "rolled down" (also: Emergent-logo->Shade). (Caution: you cannot double click on the Emergent-logo itself!). Keeping the ProjectDocs window on the left over the tree browser panel frame seems to work best since you will generally be watching and working with the right two frames the most.

Important: Projects have all been converted to version 5.1.0 of Emergent, released 8/15/10.

The program stepping logic in 5.1.0 was significantly simplified so you can instantly access multiple levels of stepping, but the documentation may not have all been updated perfectly to match this new logic.
